Review Quotes: Praise for The Attorney
"A tight plot where all of the elements dovetail at the end...twists and turns...The suspense here is excruciating."--The Washington Post "The case takes a surprising new turn and hurtles to a stunning climax. Tense courtroom drama, plenty of action, and a deviously twisted plot. Martini's hot streak continues."--Booklist "Plenty of zigs and zags in the plotting make this another strong outing for Martini."--Chicago Tribune "Very entertaining...satisfying and genuinely shocking."--Newsday "Another engrossing court battle."--Publishers Weekly
